Remember that exploding varmints video from RLM or otherwise?

Well this is the guy who personally shoots 30,000 wallabies per year:



This has to be a bit more damaging to the mental state than shooting tiny rats though, he probably feels like Charlie King of Rats.

I think culling and exploding varmints are two different things. The varmint exploder explodes varmints because he gets off on it, King Wallaby kills wallabies to keep their numbers in check but he just had the rotten luck of being the only guy doing it.

Plus I doubt wallabies are varmints that would explode all that well.

Not really, something that sized is going to die instantly or be in shock from any bullet wound. Like maybe wallabies are innately more sympathetic than coyotes, but I've done that job before and it's not that big of a deal. Putting down dogs or elephants would be hard but that's because those are animals who we specifically note as having easily recognizable human-like emotions, most other animals don't have those.

Looking at this I just realized they designed Darth Whogivesashit's helmet so that he has furrowed brow lines, like he's permanently cross about how long the space train is taking to show up. "Ooh, I'm going to be late for my new job as regional manager on the Pain Moon" says the chud from Girls. "I'm writing a letter to the Transit Authority about this, you better believe it" He mentions to a visibly amused robot alien who is also waiting.

If you're upset over what happens to a dude who assaults a lady, I don't know what to tell you. It's a scene that reminds you of what Superman is. He wouldn't do that unless you deserved it.

If you want me as a viewer to accept that this Superman is inherently good and should be trusted no matter what (something you have been argumenting over and over), the movie shouldn't show him killing a man when he easily should be able to disable him without turning him to paste. The Superman you're talking of doesn't kill someone because they 'deserve' it, only in extreme situations such as with Zod and Doomsday.

If the whole point of the end of the movie is that Batman stops branding and killing in order to follow Superman's example, then that scene makes no sense at all.

for what it's worth, the way I took Man of Steel was as a depiction of a very human Superman. he's significantly more powerful than everyone else around him, and a good dude, but he's also neither omnipotent or omniscient, and sometimes he fucks up. I think a lot of people's beef with it comes from the idea that Superman has to have a perfect solution to every single problem; the problem is, that would make him God, not Superman.

:agreed: While MoS isn't a very good movie I actually liked Superman in it more than in any other depiction of the character. Superman saving kittens from trees would bore even a 6 year old nowadays and claiming that someone is a completely flawless impersonation of all that is good and proper, is never wrong and never has doubts breaks my suspension of disbelief harder than a man wearing underwear on the outside and flying around in a cape. I'm just not buying the golden age Superman.

So you get a more human Superman which is good. And you can't really hold him responsible for what happened, saving Metropolis was just beyond his power. He couldn't stop the machine over Metropolis with a dozen super assholes running interference so he took out the unprotected part of the machine on the other side of the world. He did the best anyone could but I know that because I saw him do it, saw he did everything he could to prevent violence and knew his inner thoughts. The regular guy living in Metropolis knows none of this, all he knows is that this all powerful alien that could kill us all if he ever gets peeved just got in a fight with some other alien assholes and half his family was killed.

Superman is going to have to prove himself over and over until he earns the trust of the people of Earth.


e: I know this is highly unpopular but I loved the Kripton scenes, must have been what I liked the most about the movie. That was were the "golden age of comics" imagery works really well and I liked the Protoss vibe, it was a perfect mix of over the top garish weird sciency look.

this would've made for a fantastic film, but zack synder is retarded and doesnt know how to write a human superman. just an rear end in a top hat completely unaware of the damage he can do.

We, the viewer, are never shown any real guilt or even so much as a second thought from him over the amount of collateral damage. just a superpowered rear end in a top hat going from one fight to the next

I agree that they should have had some moments of self-reflection in Man of Steel. But they made up for that by having that struggle in Batman v Superman. Superman struggled over the issue if he was good for the world or not in BvS and people bitched and complained he was dour and mopey. So if he did that in Man of Steel people would complain about that aspect of the film. People don't want a human Superman, they want a omnipresent god-figure who doesn't make mistakes - the character they complained about years ago that was wholly unrelatable and boring.

Superman fans don't know what they want.

There was also the scene where he's watching TV, the scene with Martha, and the scene on the mountain. Those were testing his resolve as to his place in his world. His conversations with Perry over making a difference and hope were also insights into his character while Perry's was insight in the cynical and hopeless world he inhabits.
